And so, School started….

I haven’t been posting since I started school. So maybe a mini update? I will keep it short. PROMISE.

READER’S WARNING! Complaining starting soon…

So, this is what happened when school started…

I took 3 CORE mods this SEM only to know on the first day of school that all my friends took an additional core mod. Honestly, I felt super left out but not going to put blame to anyone but myself. On my part, I cleared by Elective requirements this SEM with the last U/E and the ARTS GEM.

Hence, I took Marketing as my U/E and Introduction to Narrative as my ARTS GEM without doing much of a research. On the first lecture of Narrative, I was shock out of hell cause I totally catch nothing the lecturer said. Till now, after 3 lessons, I still can’t tell you what is a narrative other than it is a story. And the worst thing? about 30% of the marks goes into tutorial participation. I ended up in a discussion module which I totally suck at! You know, I am a typical Asian student, or should I say Singapore student, I don’t like to speak up in class.

So, bad start to a new semester. To make things a little more crazy for me, it’s RAINING ASSIGNMENTS! A module of mine requires constant presentation and reports which is crazy in a way (total of 6 assessed assignments and numerous un- assessed assignments.) Then, tutorial this SEM ended up with presentation of discussion questions every lesson. (that makes 5 assignments.) On top of those group and individual assignments, there are these. I totally lost count of how many assignments I need to do. Just cross fingers and hope that I wouldn’t forget the date of submission. *Faints*

Well, looking on the bright side, it just prepares me for being a project manager who needs to work under extreme stress and tight timelines as whatever goes wrong anywhere, it’s your problem. Yes. I need to be an optimist. Not pessimist.

 

AND. AND. AND. I promise! The last thing…

I

LOVE

MUAY THAI

We FIGHT till we see blood!

AND

NUSTUDIOS!

Where imagination becomes reality!

MAYDAY.

 

一隻鯨魚要怎麼放進冰箱
打開門然後用力關冰箱
然後呢 如果你還想要 放一隻大象

一份希望要怎麼放進心臟
如果你活得有一點悲傷
答案是用力丟掉鯨魚
用力甩悲傷

是誰說半夜不能吃便當
是誰說彩虹不能長在頭上
是誰說藍色就等於憂傷
你看看天空和海洋
順風時就展開雙翅飛翔
逆風時就當成在衝浪
沒有風的時候 那就讓我
開開天窗

一句歌詞怎麼讓你很難忘
方文山 林夕和我都在想
想破頭 也鑽不進一個緊閉的心房

一個難題要用多少的智商
多少淚 還有多少的盼望
多少人變成緊閉門窗 孤獨的國王

Songs from MAYDAY never fails to motivate :) That’s what I like about them. Not those songs involving 爱的死去活来(there are, but honestly speaking I don’t really like) but songs that motivates :) They also have songs that makes you reflect on yourself as well as the society too, it comes close to heart. You’ll see.

 

笑忘歌 is a song that I’ve always liked. But recently I found a even nicer one (although it’s kind of emo.).There is no reason not to like that band. They sang their dreams, they motivate people to keep dreaming on. For people with dreams, as well as those without.

I came across a book in NLB a last week and saw a very interesting book. The book is titled “GIVES ME HOPE'” In short, GMH. It’s about very short inspiring stories that span across work, relationship, suicide , disorders and all. It’s suitable for all people. The book aims to let people feel the positive vibes in society given our everyday experience in negativity. I personally like the book and hope if you do come across it, just pick it up to read. It’s won’t take you more than a day to finish the book. But it would be nice to enjoy it slowly.

The book is only a few of the millions story and if you find it inspiring as I do, do visit their website at www.givesmehope.com .

I like these few stories I saw in the book.

My little sister came home from school one day and demanded I take her to the library so she could get books on sign language.

I asked why? She told me there was a new kid at school who was deaf and she wanted to befriend him.
 
Today, I stood beside her at their wedding watching her sign... "I DO".

 

3 days ago, my best friend died. 

2 days ago, I found that she was an organ donor.  

1 day ago, I heard that a nine year old boy now had her heart.  

Today, I met that nine year old boy. He told me that because he had my best friend's heart, he'd be my best friend now.  

My best friend and him GMH.

Touching isn’t it? Well… Always check out the website when you are free :)
